For two weekends each year; the clear blast of trumpets mingles with the laughter of children as the kingdom of Hoggetowne opens its gates. Dancers and singers in period garb perform to delighted crowds. Vendors hawk their fine wares and blacksmiths demonstrate their skills. Magicians amaze crowds with their secret arts. Knights battle one another from horseback and warriors meet in combat as pieces on a living chessboard. This is the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, one of GainesvilleÆs most beloved traditions.

Friday is a School Day with discounts for school groups and half price ticket sales for general admission, individuals with disabilities free. Advance ticket sales at Omni Bookstore in Gainesville.
